  1. You would think not, but would cut down on travel expenses... Definitely a £17 sport last night
  2. If the double header goes ahead, can only assume a 7pm start and just one interval between the two matches, otherwise we'll be there til midnight!
  3. Didn't expect a 10 point win. Leicester certainly deserved a point for their efforts in a thoroughly entertaining match. Shame they didn't get it :-) Proper no.1 in Lambert tonight. In fact the team did well, even huckenbeck got amongst the points at the end. Only real weak link was the other Lambert who has looked very poor since his return from injury.
  4. Hoping the stars can get the win, but, Leicester seem to have a similar team with strength in depth, so gonna be a close one. If racing is as good as the oak tree arena on Monday I'll be happy.
  5. Surely if he is still suffering from concussion he shouldn't be riding for his and everyone's sake / safety?
  6. One would have had a reoccurrence of a wrist injury, even without falling :-) There was a one liner in Greg Hancock's interview in the Star recently where he said UK tracks don't suit modern bikes. That is so true, the NSS must be the only exception to that.
  7. We need to get the spirit back and fast with the team we have. They have the beating of most teams in the league and would be a good bet over two legs. But we are gonna need to cover holders rides adequately or it will be game over. Poole won't make the playoffs now but we need to keep our wits about us now rye house have signed kk... Our team need us behind them and we need them. Dodgy management / track or not.
  8. We'd need a cure for bad wind at king's Lynn as well....
  9. On the plus side Jorgensen looks an improvement on porsing. Other than his first ride and second when he dumped on his backside by fricke he looked a decent rider. Fast as well...
  10. Always thought some sort of sun screen would help. It's only as the sun started getting low that it becomes a problem. Nice big advertising hoarding not much higher than the score board ought to do the trick. Back to the result, if it's a gate and go track I fear a narrow defeat, otherwise we can hopefully grind out a win - just. Aces will definitely get at least a point out of it.
  11. Wolves are a very very strong team now and can't see anyone beating them over two legs as teams stand. Good win last night, but Wednesday against the Aces will be another tough test and we'll see if our early season poor form has been put to bed.
  12. It would be very wrong to drop Rose. He has done incredibly well since returning​. I know sometimes it's a numbers game, but NO!!!!!
  13. Bad news for Nik if it is broken, but must now mean the management have to look at a double change
  14. Still can't really believe this is off. Forecast was for wind to die down and no rain until the wee small hours with a pleasant evening in prospect....and appears to be correct. Did Buster read the Michael Fish book of Fishy weather forecasts cos this one is sure as hell is lost on me. If the AFA had been left in a dodgy state after the wind and rain then fair call, but that appears not to be the case. Lost for words...
  15. Expect Doyle to go through the card, if one of those is a tactical that's 18 points. Hope Lambert and holder can beat him maybe once. Could be a close run thing, but having the other Lambert at reserve will help our cause. Hope stars can come away with a win, but expect robins to sneak an away point. Unfortunately got to miss this one and Swindon's other visit due to family hols. :-(
  16. Some decent racing again tonight. Harris sublime for Rockets, but a good team display by the stars with some excellent time riding. Poor old Josh still couldn't really score. Meeting moved along at a nice pace, but throw in a couple of tape breaks, a fall and couple of races with riders having two on the trot and ended up being a late finish. Still don't understand why it takes so long to between heats 14 and 15 though, and can we have some more speakers round bend 1 and 2. Announcers are clear, but struggle with riders being interviewed. No idea what Dooly was saying. Lambert was only marginally better.
  17. We got out of jail tonight! Not sure what was said in the interval! Much improved from from Noddy. Some decent racing throughout. Josh still not looking like scoring, shame but think the top league may be a step too far at this point in his career.
  18. Badly need a home win to get the season back on track. Need some decent racing as well. The first should be ok, by 6 to 8 points, jury out on quality of racing
  19. A change over date is simple but unfair. One team could strengthen after only 2 or 3 matches, others after 4 or 5. That would benefit the team that had ridden fewer matches as their stronger revised lineup can be used in more matches. 4 and 4 works, but maybe should apply to the team as whole, so if rider has missed a match or two they would still get a revised average
  20. Not sure it weakens us that much. Would be surprised if Kai scored more than the odd couple of points round monmore...hardly known for its wide open spaces that Kai seems to prefer
  21. Most comments here are spot on. Short interval was announced, seemed to equate to 20 mins. That should be the norm, so expected maybe 10 mins. Meeting did run at a good pace other than and unnecessarily long wait for heat 15. Don't think you can blame mic man, he just trying to inject some atmosphere. Poor racing on a cold night ain't gonna help. Deffo think the corners need to come in a bit to give more racing lines that are hopefully better suited to modern bikes. Stars will need to find their gating gloves and quick. Impressed with how good cook looked last night, didn't look like dropping a point.
  22. Stars to win, just, but expecting almighty fight. Will be wearing plenty of layers and a warm hat. Where has spring gone!
  23. Nicholls and Bomber will keep us honest but more a case of how many we win by. Double figures should be attainable. Real test is next week when the Aces come to town, then we will real see our potential or otherwise....
  24. Definitely think the Lynn top 3 will outscore their counterparts, maybe with exception of Scotty. Bottom end will struggle with tight Rye track. Hoping we'll do enough to sneak a win but won't be by a lot
